They look good in all fairness. The sets is still priced £30 too much for my liking. I will wait for the inevitable sale and with 13k to get through I can't see it being that far off.
Agreed, but I managed to get it for £26 less from HMV anyway as the 20% friend's referral code worked on the pre-order (somewhat surprisingly), so I'm very happy about that! I also managed to get the latest Doctor Who blu-ray collection set for £10 less at the same time as well! :)

But, yes, if they find they have too many and need to drop the price, I would expect them to do some good deals by, say, taking £30 off and selling them at £99.99. I managed to pick up the Nolan Trilogy Ultimate Collector's Edition Steelbooks when they were offering a deal on them, which, when combined with the discount for ordering all three at the same time brought them down to £30.33 each instead of £39.99 which I felt was too much.
 
Yes, it is.

My set arrived safe and sound on Monday from HMV. They didn't leave it in the WB white box as others have stated Amazon have done. Instead, it was wrapped in brown paper, then placed in a much larger box, with more brown paper as padding in the rest of the box so it didn't move around. Although it was placed in one corner of the box rather than in the middle, which I would have thought would have been better. But it survived anyway, which was the main thing.

Same here, ordered 2 with the discount and both came intact from HMV thankfully - but NOT in the white protective boxes, just brown paper and a larger box.
 
I contacted warner UK last week about the superman discs replacement program
I provided photos of the release and copy of Amazon uk invoice as proof of purchase.

Warner UK replied will ship the replacement discs when they have available.

For those not aware

What’s Been Fixed​

The newly-authored 4K discs address multiple technical problems that frustrated fans of the original release:

Superman: The Movie
– Audio Enhancement: Now includes both the original 6-track audio AND the original 2.0 audio in lossless DTS-HD Master Audio, in addition to the existing Atmos mix
– Video Fix: The Christopher Reeve credit sequence no longer contains the bizarre video glitch that marred the previous release

Superman II
– Improved Atmos Mix: Corrects the various “wow” and pitch issues that affected dialogue and music on the previous 4K disc

Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut
– Iconic Scene Restored: Fixed the geometry of the beloved final shot where Superman smiles at the camera—the previous version was oddly compressed horizontally, diminishing the impact of this memorable moment

Superman IV: The Quest for Peace
– Audio Corrections: Features an improved Atmos mix that fixes the inadvertent use of alternate and incorrect musical performance cues throughout the film

How long did it take to get a reply from them?

About 2 days later I got a reply from from Warner UK

If you contacted Warner USA Customer service they don't always reply but some customers in USA still got replacement discs shipped even though some did not get a reply from warner usa

As long as you included a copy of the invoice from retailer you purchased from and photos as proof of purchase you should be OK

Oh. I contacted them ages ago but haven't heard anything back from them. I'd better follow it up.
 
Contacted them 1 month ago, 2 weeks ago and last week. Complete silence.
Did you get any notification that they have acknowledged your email?

Although my email was purely about the issues with the discs. I didnt provide any order details etc because I was asking if they were going to send out replacements at some point

It took a while for them to get back to me…around 10 days or so… but when they did they told me they could offer me replacement discs and I was asked to confirm that was acceptable. Once I’d confirmed that was ok (as that was the whole reason for contacting them in the first place) they then replied to state the replacement discs would be sent out within 1-2 weeks.

I would add though, that I included both pictures of the box set in hand and proof of purchase with my initial email.

No the Warner UK customer service email address is all as listed below

Use the email address exactly as listed below
[email protected]

You must include a copy of retailer invoice you purchased from as proof of purchase and optional also include photos of the actual discs or box set as proof

You need to be clear in the email you send to Warner UK what edition of superman you previously purchased so they know what replacement discs that need to be sent to you.


In the email you send to Warner UK also include your delivery address so they know where to ship replacement discs

I got an automated response, but nothing further. However, it wasn't to the email address that Paul has provided but one I was given by Warner Bros. UK Shop Customer Support! I've now resent it to the email address Paul has provided so let's see if that works now! :)

Thanks, emailed them, again using the exact email showing all proof of purchase and details. See if they get back to me. Its been 3 days now still no reply. I forgot to put the image of the actual items. I guess this is maybe they never replied the first time round and now this time aswell, so ill go dig them out and send actual images of the steelbooks.
